COMB.

SPECIFICATION forming part 0f Letters Patent N0. 707,598, dated August 26, 1902. Application filed December 26, 1901. Serial No. 87,390. (N0 modem To a/ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WOLF KRONHEIM, merchant and manufacturer, a subject of the King of Prussia,German Emperor, residing at No. 5 Karl street, Hanover, in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Combs, y

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a comb the prongs or teeth of which are located laterally from the base or body, so as to afford a free or unchecked way from the lower ends to the upper ends of said prongs or teeth.

I have shown such a comb in the aecompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side view of the same, and Fig. 2 a section in line 3 4 of Fig. l. l

The body or back a, of the comb has the teeth or prongs b located laterally, the upper parts or ends of the same extending along the side of the body and terminating in one plane with the upper surface of said body or base.

The spaces existing between the prongs do not, therefore, end at the lower surface of the base, but have each a mouth at the upper end, so that the hair cannot get entangled with the prongs and torn out, as is the case with the combs now in use.

Having now described my invention, what I desire to secure by a patent of the United States is A comb with straight teeth having the back on one side of the straight teeth, so that the spaces between the latter reach from the points of the teeth along one side of the back to the rear side of the comb, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.

WOLF KRONHEIM.
